Spaldiug Is reported as saying, ~ will
sell ClAfksou, Williamson, Pfeffer or any
man In the team for $4,000, and consider
1t a good investment. The fact is, no ball

Force Of habit, my child. The average
ball reporter Is great theorist. 1t makes
no difference to him how the home club
is defeated; he, from his seat In the box,
can easily see how 1t could have won.
Without his theories, however, the ball re-
porter couldn't have pie for breakfast, and
be works them for all they're worth. Be
warned in time, my son. Avoid the ball
reporter with theory as you would the
| woman with q mission."-[Phila. North
